The heads of the studios, like Louis B. Mayer, didn't want to create any more musical stars. So Bobby [Fosse] left and went to New York City to be a choreographer, and created brilliant work.

Bobby [Fosse] was very difficult to work with, he wanted to be a big star at MGM, but it was the end of making musical movies at the time.

I always avoid not working.

The only way you learn is by failure.

I gave it all that I had, and it's gratifying that others seem to be receiving it so well.

Do I run around deploring the world? No. I'm just not into it. I was brought up that way.

If I ever stop working, I might have a problem. But I never seem to be able to stop working.
